Same wave length (as usual)…I just had some Guaco too for lunch, very satisfiying. A nice hot tub would be nice as well, think I will walk over to the PT department!! Have fun, Steve and co. Glad you guys had a little touch o’luxury…it wasn’t by chance Remote Luxury, was it? 🙂BV

I’m lovin’ this blog-VERY entertaining!! The demeanor of your writing is priceless and I admire your positive attitude in spite of your troubles.

I have to agree with veleska and queen h: you ARE still beautiful, baby! *wink* The Church is a very sexy band, everything from your voice to the music to the appearance of everyone-all sexy. Even my straight husband agrees. It’s okay to take a compliment every once in a while you know!

hey steve, that venue sounds great! as wonderful as atlanta was they didn’t have a hot tub or a pool table for ya. oh, by the way…you said on one of last weeks blogs, while in florida 🙁 , that you weren’t a hero…just a washed up old rocker. well, you may not be a hero, and old is relative…but you certainly aren’t washed up. i’ve listened to univited like the clouds enough to know that. and i did see the show in atlanta…so i know better. you are musically relevant. unfortunately, too many times the ones who aren’t get all the perks. take care…soldier on my friend.mark

Getting up and screaming “YOU HOTTIE” at someone is not something I would necessarily do myself, but had I witnessed this exchange I would’ve been ROLLING on the floor with glee. Absolutely hilarious. Loving this woman. It just takes too long to yell “ELEGANTLY HANDSOME WITH A SEDUCTIVE CHARM” at high volume, that’s all. Especially after more than one drink.

You hottie. I LOVE IT. You go guy.

The band has always been *quite* easy on the eyes and the ladies are exactly right. Fine wine, my good men. Listen to the ladies.

Maybe the woman was just sympathizing, wit the blown out air condit n all.You Hot! You Hot! Or perhaps she had a premonition of that cell phone about to fly — You Hot! You Hot! But it did not.You B Cool & Smooth n Hot!

does the ranking relate to the number of comments? mmm…more the number of visits yeah?

success at last hey…if you cant top the charts the old fashion way, then this will do hey. in 20 years time, they’ll interview you you about how you once topped the blog charts with “the time being” and you’ll get really pissed off. you’ll refuse to ever blog again and no one will be allowed to bring up the word ‘blog’ in your presence…

Okay I will come live with you. But I have to bring my wife with me. And we have 8 pets. And there has to be a record store where you live that hires 47 year olds with high school diplomas. Tell them I can arrange LPs by almost any band in chronological order. Really fast. That will help. And please remember, I’m absolutely f’in’ useless around the house. I like to buy magazines, intend to read them, kind of browse through them without really reading them, and leave them here and there.

Hey this gives me a great idea. Why don’t we all start ignoring Steve and his fucking Unending Blog at number whatever, start writing to each other without talking about That Band He’s In, take turns living with each other, perhaps even becoming each other, start a rock band that has 1,000 people in it, and start a commune in outer space? Anybody in with me on this?

I can barely remeber who “Steve” is or why I started writing these comments. I think this whole bloggy and everyone in it are now floating away through the very barriers of time and detail, like that black thing in “2001” which for my money, is the best film ever about the past.

It is finally time to announce my presence among you who call yourselves Steveons. I am The Phrase Keeper, He Who Calls Himself Something Vague. I have travelled through many years and dimensions to be with you, so that I can slowly begin to reveal That Which Really Isn’t Quite Ready To Reveal Yet. For it is not unlike what you call a Polaroid, that vision which slowly gains clarity and detail. Listen to your sound messages by Church, The, while I slip into something more knowledgable. It is joyous indeed taht we may finally travel together this path we now share. I am honored to be among you. This is all for now. I am fading. I will speak to you again, my friends.

Bucks –Damn you! I’m cracking up here. Ok, bring the wife, and the 8 pets. I’ve got two pets – it’ll be pet city. A pet commune. I also have about 658094483 magazines around the house I intend to read Someday. The problem is, I think they’re mutating or breeding at night. Every morning I walk out and shit, there’s more magazines everywhere. I’m not good around the house either – we’ll give that job to your wife. LOL! Record stores? Heck, do those still exist? Wait, I saw Amoeba earlier tonight in H-wood. You can work there. Bring me music and laughter and all will be right with the world. And yeah, this Steve Kilbey guy – who is he again? It is all fading away now…

Steven – you hot hot hot hot hottie..I found you little gifties today! You’re gonna let me talk to Bucks on your blog because once you see these things, you’ll be happy. 🙂Queen Helene for Buck’s sake!xxoo

Well I think its disgusting behaviourLadies please keep your eyes averted and your mouths closed at the performanceswhen you feel your passions inflaming just bring yourself to focus on something else, in fact a small piece of handiwork should be brought along so that you can keep your hands busy and maintain an impression of modesty and industry, crochet or embroidery would be suitableyou may clap politely, while keeping your eyes downPlease stuff your ears with cotton wool so you are not subject to any potentially seductive lyrics to which, may I remind you, any form of reaction is completely unwarranted

ha ha Sk! Rising to the top of the blog charts and the hottie charts all in one go! Now if you keep mentioning ‘hot tubs’ that might do the trick. I thought the ratings might drop a little now that my work (the nsw edu dept) has blocked you as being ‘unsuitable for educational purposes’!! whatthe?? Thats our govt for you!

ps hell Denise, I’d come and live with you too but I have a coupla goats, two kids, 4 dogs, 2 cats, two goldfish called Iggy and Syd and a husband LOL …they dont eat much.

C’mon! You are a hotie and you know it!Funny isn’t it, when u get older that all the hotties u look at in a room aren’t the ones lookin at you!Anyway, what u said reminded me that in the 1980’s my band had a gig supporing your band at the Paddington Green in Sydney, and I spoke to someone from yr band about the PA, and we had a disagreement and my band didn’t do the show cause I thought, F**** em

and now twenty years later I am a regular fan of yr blog, and you, and you know Killer, every job has it’s inane incompetencies…god they’re infuriating!…but you nevets get the sumptuosnessness as well…

what i like the most about your travelling stories is the glorious combo of the prosaic and the sublime…7 hours, no aircon…ewww.sumptuousness….mmmmmmm

love it all you hilarious wonnderful transmitter of wonderment and life…….is this my fave missive so far? so fine in it’s delicate gracious synergy………

Come out to Ozzie land. I’ve got 5 acres, old mansion on a hill. Church mavens welcome. Accommodation for goats and all and a coupla beauty old Danish monitors for Church high mass rotation.

Don’t worry about the mags. I gotta open fires and a hot compost.

I’ve also got 10 acres in Snake Valley (which is sort of like outer space). You all can grow your own (veggies?) amongst the birdy trees and aromatic bush. Mix a bitta straw and clay and build some muddie hovels. No stress: Kilbey colony, Kilby commune.

We could be a cult! (Icy dam to swim in too if you don’t mind the yabbies, and the snakes, of course).

sellersville is outside of philadelphia, which has its fair share of churchniks…so hopefully some folks will turn up–city folk and forest dwellers, mountain beatniks and small town artistes, orthodontists who thought they were going to see the yardbirds.

It’s a small theater (350 seats), so I’m really excited about the show. Good luck, I’ll see you there.

Next tour, you know – the full electric (lash) one – book the Orange Peel in Asheville NC, a groovy, beautiful, college boho town in the Misty Mountains of Appalatia, many muso folk there of Church-calibre. Then I can drive up from Atlanta, see the next show and stay with friends there. Lossa name acts play this venue. “Thinkaboudit”..(preparing you for NYC)

haha amazing by other bands standards….. youre the best sk!got a hard drive meltdown the size of chernobyl…got a lot of reading to catch up with your US tour….gotta say this again ULTC whatta mottafuckin great album it is!!

Livin’ high on the hog like that? And cutie southern belles ahootin’ and ahollerin’ ya with “Hottie” to boot (aw geez, even if they weren’t cutie-belles at least let me PRETEND they were – I got nothin’ else, man)?

That’s it. I’m rootin’ for the Tigers more now – you guys got it too good.

So’s keep it up and get here to Deetroit safe, sound, halfsane, but all Space Rockin’ !

Sounds good, glad you already have too many magazines cause now I don’t have to bring mine. But my wife will NOT be doing the housework, she is quite over having to do most of it due to my lameass contributions, although I am getting better in my ancient. She is far too Queenly for any of that, and we might barely escape a lifetime of servitude unto her if we are lucky. I think the fucking Church should come by once a week and clean up the house, and sing for their supper. We could trade them dessert for encores.

i’ve just been on holiday for 2 weeks – no internet access – when i left you were in the states and fcuk me if you’re not still there, you must be bloody knackered, i am after 2 weeks of food, booze and sun.

This blog never ceases to make me laugh! Buck, with all your silliness and Larry thinking SK ate a guacano salad (“SK is herbal not herbivorous”)!!! I clicked on the link and saw the cute furry face and had a good laugh (hey, I’m vegetarian too, so it’s ok)! I’ve really needed to laugh lately, so thanks SK and everybody! Keep the wittiness flowing!

oh hang it Denise, I wanna live with Gavgams now! the mansion on the hill and the fireplace did it plus Im used to snakes and I wont have to fly.. hope his real initials aren’t SK … aka serial killer LOL

Glad to hear the tour is going better than your trip through sunny hot as hell Florida. Got a kick outta my 14 year old asking me “Whats the Great Machine”. Even he was grooving to Sealine and more at the show. My 12 yr old was a trip Peter asked him if he played any instrument and his reply was ” I used to” he never played anything in his life we got a kick out of that, maybe he will start. We loved the art cards will hopefully send for more from Aussie looks like the selection was already picked through good at the show. your merch ladies were very nice to us as well. Great reading about all your adventures have a god rest of the tour sure you will be happy to get home to the family.
